Blue River Community Garden. Beautiful job done by the BR Volunteer Fire Dept completing the new gazebo. A grant from the NTCF was used toward the purchase of building materials. With increased demand for more growing space the Foundation has supported this year's project with soil for additional boxes.
The Emergency Community Support Fund (ECSF) is a $350 million emergency funding program from the Government of Canada. The global pandemic has left no community untouched, and it is having a disproportionate impact on vulnerable Canadians who are less equipped to deal with its health, social and economic impacts.. The North Thompson Communities Foundation is proud to be involved in the allocation of funding.
